Furious Mod for Gevey on iOS 5

Ok - I have to say I was skeptical. I have a Iphone 4; jailbroke on 4.3.3 and bb 4.10.01 using Gevey Ultra from ApplenBerry and autounlocking with FuriousMod.

I was reluctant to upgrade to 5.0.1 because I really didn't want to loose the convenience of the FuriousMod auto unlock.

I finally took the "plunge" tonight and upgraded to IOS 5.0.1 and installed the FuriousMod "mod" from the Squuiid repo and "it worked perfectly!!!

Here is what I did:
1) Backed up via itunes before starting
2) Used Redsnow (mac) 9.10.b3 to created custom 5.0.1 firmware with preserved 4.10.01 baseband
3) Restored cfw via itunes
4) Rebooted and activated; setup with itunes backup
5) Jaibroke (Redsnow) and installed Cydia

I then rebooted with the TMobile and Gevey
followed the process for manual unlock (e.g 112 dial, etc)
Got TMobile signal

Then went to Cydia; added source //cydia.myrepospace.com/Squuidd/ and added FuriousMod(tweaked) 1.1.0

Rebooted and the auto-unlock worked flawlessly 1st time.

I was a skeptic, but this was worth taking a shot at!!!
 
I have a EBAY Gevey Ultra (red) and just installed 1.0.1 from Keyokee's repo.

It seems to be alot more stable than his 1.0.2

Thank you!
 
kvizzel, what stability issues are you talking about with 1.0.2? I've been using it for a few minutes and haven't noticed any signal loss. I thought the whole point of the upgrade was to resolve the signal issues with 1.0.1. I'm using the new Gevey Ultra orange no cutting although I can't verify it's different from the red Ultra.

mtime, the Gevey Ultra/Supreme always worked with the 112 process and automatic process on reboot as far as I could tell although I did have to push Cancel at the black Gevey screen. You shouldn't have to dial 112 at all. I think the first Gevey Supreme versions(yellow package) required you to dial 112 to get data working.

I want to thank keyoke for the great repo and mcbaron15 for the original solution. I wanted to cry when I read keyoke's post as I found this topic from the modmyi topic about an hour ago. Now I'm trying to figure out how to fix Location Services causing signal loss on a 3GS with 6.15.00. The newest redsn0w 0.9.10b3 doesn't resolve the issue as far as I know, but I'll run it again.

When I was using 1.0.2 it would boot up and sometimes say Sim Failure, then Invalid Sim.

Using 1.0.1 it never does that.

Also on 1.0.2 it would randomly go in and out of full bars to searching then take a few seconds-minutes to regain bars.

I have yet to notice this on 1.0.1

As far as I knew, Ultra only worked manual above 4.3.3 9ntil the recent FuriousMod tweek(s)

Anyway, I am happy

As for your signal drop, I have had the same problem with 2 separate 3GS's bb 6.15 when upgrading to IOS 5.0.1. Signal drops whenever a location serviced based app was launched. Signal would drop after about 20 sec, return, drop, etc until the app was closed. Downgraded one phone back to IOS 4.1 (which resolved the problem (LS worked again).

As for the other phone, it is still at IOS 5.0.1. Another forum member pointed me to a post that suggested a fix to this problem by re-flashing the 6.15 baseband. So I am going to try that fix shortly
 
the download statistics from my repo is quite interesting

FuriousMod 1.0.1 for ios5
32 Downloads

FuriousMod 1.0.2 for ios5
44 Downloads

FuriousMod 1.1.0 for ios5
31 Downloads

seems all versions are useful but 1.0.2 is slightly more popular :)
 
Thanks for all your effort Keyoke

For my clarity, which version(s) are intended for Gevey Ultra (legit) versus other Geveys?
 
added it to my repo, didnt test it tho

----------

hm, i find it a little bit suspicious

the new version has 1mb and 900kb out of that is Default@2x.png which appears to be empty when you view it

the package doesnt have any mobilesubstrate plugin

the simunlock app was changed tho so maybe it does things differently now, but still weird that they would include 1mb empty png ? hopefully just a mistake

I completely forgot to test the untethered feature. I just figured if it worked the first time, it would work on reboots. It just worked fine on reboot. An interesting note: It took about 8 hours for me to lose 2% battery life while idling with only WiFi overnight. On the old Gevey Ultra clone(red) with 112 on iOS 5.0.1, I lost 1% every 75 minutes and then 1% every 35 minutes on Supreme. This could be attributed to the battery glitch rather than the Gevey as well as the individual chip, but I should probably check it out.

Regarding furiousmod 2.0, does it work any better than mcbaron15's patch or is it exactly the same?
 
No, they copied his source files and added some of their own. I don't see the harm in doing that if he wasn't asking for people not to do that.
 
none of us has the source files, only them

2.0 is definitely very different then the 1.x, it doesnt use mobilesubstrate and has changes in the unlocksim binary

the changes mcbaron did were only in text files to fix a change between ios4 and ios5

the important question is if 2.0 works on all variants of gevey and if it has some new features

im pretty sure the 1mb image can just be removed if it works for people
 
tried 2.0

its working for me just fine even tho 1.1.0 didnt

I tried 2.0 on 2 iPhone 4's with two Gevey Ultra clones, and nothing happened. The network coverage stays at "No Service" with not even "Searching..." Then I uninstalled 2.0 and installed your 1.0.2 with no problems after I rebooted.
 
It took me three times here and there to get Gevey Ultra to work on the 3rd iPhone 4 with 1.0.1 or 1.0.2. I'm wondering if this is due to the fact these are No Cut SIMs vs. the cut ones adapted by the real Geveys. Has anyone had intermittent signals on official Geveys? The best part about using the 112 method is the iPhone will automatically pick up the signal again by going to No Service or Searching... rather than showing Invalid SIM like with the furiousmod. It's probably a better long-run strategy to just use the 112 manual method once with the untether. Anyone have other experiences?
 
I have an original Gevey, and 2.0 did not do it; 1.0.2 is working just fine (I've got 3.10.01).
